64.036 - Feature Analysis Approaches in International Assessments

Mon, April 8, 12:20 to 1:50pm, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Floor: Mezzanine Level, Confederation 5

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium reports the use of a common qualitative measure on country- specific, large-scale tests in mathematics. Participants from the US, South Korea, Basque Country/Spain, and Panama have applied a feature analysis tool (author, 2014, 2015) to at least one of their country’s accountability tests. Qualitative ratings of content distribution, cognitive demands, task elements, e.g., representation, were systematically obtained. Impact on available quantitative indicators is provided, moderated by phase of assessment development. The proximal intention of these metrics is to inform teachers about instructionally relevant inferences and to influence assessment design. An additional goal is to compare features and indicators across countries for similar, mediating patterns.
